branches in other territories such as Denmark, Germany, and
Norway. In 1962, a decade after formation, the home office
was purchased by Deutsche Grammophon.
In the late '60s, the Danish office was merged into Tono Records.
The original Swedish label's name was changed to Polydor AB
in 1970.
Karusell was anufactured and distributed by Nor-Disc in Norway
When Nor-Disc was sold to Phonogram in 1970, Karusell went
with it.
The label later issued LPs only. |
